MCG Deferment Policy

Accepted students seeking deferment will be considered on a case-by-case basis. To be considered, the student must write a letter to the Senior Associate Dean of »Æ¹Ï¶ÌÊÓƵ explaining the reason(s) for deferment. Each case will be presented to and voted on by the »Æ¹Ï¶ÌÊÓƵ Committee.  

• Deferments are not available to applicants accepted from the alternate list.
• A deferment requires extenuating, unexpected personal circumstances.   
• Only one request for a one-year deferment will be considered.        
• Deferment requests should not be made to delay a decision of which medical school to attend. 
• A deferred student’s campus assignment will not be guaranteed for the following year.                                         

The Medical College of Georgia at »Æ¹Ï¶ÌÊÓƵ cannot hold scholarship offers made in the initial year of acceptance to the following year. A deferred student is eligible for scholarship offers in the following year but with no guarantee.
